Services

Personalized therapeutic services for individuals, families, and caregivers—fostering healing, growth, and transformation through evidence-based and holistic approaches.

Individual and Family Psychotherapy

I provide Individual and Family Psychotherapy services to individuals across the lifespan utilizing a holistic and eclectic approach that is suitable to work with your goals. Individual and Family Psychotherapy visits in Pittsburgh, PA often can be arranged in-person via Walk and Talk or in the client home if meeting in-person is preferable to telehealth.

Preparation and Integration of Non-ordinary States of Consciousness

When working with clients who use psychedelics on their own, I focus on the preparation stage where I utilize a harm reductionist approach. Integration of past psychedelic experiences are available at anytime.

Psychedelic Journey Sitting

I provide safety and support if needed during the safe and legal use of psychedelics.
